Blue just works really well for skin. It contrasts against the warm skin tones. If you use redish specualr it always makes the skin look flushed and works against your diffuse. Theres really no reasoning behind it other than it looks good

Yeah. The hard surface sections just refered to all the little armour pieces, they werent taken into Zbrush, I made the high res versions of these parts in Maya
